A charming tale of faith, loyalty, and true strength. Giselle is a very relatable protagonist, stuck in a terrible situation she had no control over yet learning to rise up and conquer it. The allegory element of this story hit just the right balance for me—conveying truth I need to be reminded of in my life, yet not heavy-handed in its delivery. Also the creativity of this world, the creatures the characters encounter, and the premise itself—a monster living inside the protagonist's own mind—astounded me. I never knew what to expect in Giselle's mind-world, making for a delightful journey of discovery. Definitely recommend!
